Have you seen the movie: Hungry for Change? It is a movie that you can see online right now for free until March 31. This is an hour and a half very well spent that will change the way you view food forever. I know it deeply affected me...
The movie talks about how most of the food that is offered to us in grocery stores today has been specifically manufactured to look good, smell good, taste good, but it is Not Good for us. What we are actually buying is a concoction of chemicals that were conceived and combined in special formulations to make us believe we are getting good nutrition when in reality, we are eating chemicals that have no nutritional value when our body absorbs it. We have been tricked by food manufacturers!
This is why we are always hungry, craving more food, more sugar and this has lead to the epidemic of fatness in today`s society in North America. 65% of us are obese now!
The food manufacturers have led us to believe that what they are feeding us is good and nutritious. How could it not be with such beautiful packaging and marketing messages that promise to make us sexy and thin when in actuality, this food is making us moody, fat and our bodies are getting sicker and sicker.
The movie then goes into solutions for this epidemic. Mainly, going back to nature. Growing our own food, buying food from farmer`s markets, making our own bread or buying organic. Food grown and produced the way it used to be in the good old days before man started to mess around with chemicals in food. We have turned our back on Mother Nature when we stopped eating pure natural vegetables...and veggies are key to reclaiming our health.
Being healthy starts from the inside out. All your body wants is to be healthy. Eat and drink your veggies people! Visualize the body you want and feed these thoughts to your subconscious. Talk nice to yourself, exercise, laugh, sleep and eat good wholesome foods as the ticket to reclaiming your health.
When I woke up the following morning and for days after (still going...) watching this movie, all I felt like doing was cooking. Cooking real foods and nurturing my little seedlings of cucumber, tomatoes and sweet peppers that are getting ready for the garden.
Hope you take the time to watch this movie as it has the power to transform you and society as a whole...
